Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Jade Bread

I use authentic antique ledger paper approximately 1890-1925 in date. Designs are hand drawn and typically derived from photos of relatives or through generalized depictions of my people based on my knowledge of my tribal affiliations. I also like to depict photographs of other people or tribes that I feel connected to, and that I have acquired knowledge on.These designs are set in fine line pen and filled in with "Prisma" colored pencils. These pencils are wonderful and unique in the manner that they are oil based and blend very seamlessly creating beautiful life like movement to these ledgers.
